"I gave my supervisors ample notice because I've been there for years and knew they'd appreciate me being there to train my replacement. My company ended up offering me a transfer to an office in the city of my choice; they just requested that I stay put long enough for them to hire someone else. I started shopping for a home and preparing to move, but my company continued to push back my leave date. It feels like they're holding their offer hostage."
"Ask your company to make the mortgage payment on your new home until they are ready for you to move. Point out that you have accommodated their request, and now it's their turn to help you after changing the terms of their previous offer. If that doesn't work, it may be time to look for another job since they are stringing you along."
"My sister recently went through a divorce, and it's been difficult for her. She has two young kids, and I can see how overwhelmed and stressed she is, trying to juggle her work, taking care of the kids, managing the household and trying to keep her life on track. I want to be there for her, but I'm not sure of the best way to help."
An employee accepted a company transfer while planning a move and purchasing a home, but the employer repeatedly postponed the leave date, placing the employee under contract for a new home and creating financial risk. The company asked for continued months on site until a replacement could be hired, repeatedly delaying the move. Recommended actions include requesting that the employer cover the mortgage until relocation is possible, citing the employee's accommodation of changing terms, or seeking other employment if the employer refuses. A recently divorced sister with two young children feels overwhelmed while juggling work, childcare, and household duties, often declining offers of help. Practical, specific, respectful, and nonjudgmental assistance is advised to support her and address concerns about mental health and stress.
